WOW. Nice haul! If there we a bunch of other folks bidding too, I can't imagine how large the collection must have been... Wow! That black Bruneau is by far my favorite! I've always wanted one of those...

I've always wanted one of those... Thanks! There were many lots of opals and equipment that got bid up way higher than I could compete with. No one seemed too interested in the slab lots though, lucky for me  |

man you scored big! That Bruneau alone was probably worth the price of admission.

You got $300 worth of excitement and now eveything else is profit. The pyrite disks are usually available at Tucson show, but that does not preclude their being neat, and coveted. Congratulations on several months worth of work materials. Tom

Great googley moogley what a score! That's one high end collection of goodies you got there Brian. Like John said, just the couple of Bruneau hunks would go for what you paid at retail and I see a polished black bruneau specimen in there too. And Blue Mtn and Willow creek too. Those slabs were pricy even years ago! Wow! You guys really have the incredible rock sales there in Arizona. I'm so jealous *L*!.....Mel

WOW! The only good rocks I ever see at the estate sales I've gotten to have been on the order of painted palm trees on lava rocks from Hawaii. You got some great stuff at an unbelievable price. I'm thrilled for you.
